We went along so our daughters could do a painting each - what a lovely experience! Kind and helpful staff, a beautiful studio and lots of craft products available to help them create a lovely batik painting. Excellent value, we would definitely go back. Booking was easy - I just emailed the night before and we went the next day.... More

This is the very first stop our tour took us. You get to see the locals working on batik and if you are interested and have time, you could even try one for a small cost. This is one side of the shop and otherside is exclusive gift shops. You could bargain for the batik clothes from the printed price... More

We stopped here as a part of a full day tour in KL. It was interesesting to see how artists make patterns on free hand with the wax. It was the first time I saw how this was done, and I was impressed by their skills. It was no problem to take pictures while they were working - thank you... More

Silk parios make wonderful gifts. Expensive but beautiful and so Malaysian. Easier to pack and lighter to carry than pewter.

This was a stop on our day tour of KL and well worth it. We got to see a batik artist freehand waxing a design straight out of his head onto a length of silk. Then we got to see another artist colouring in a design and merging colours with fabric ink. The gallery and shop have some great work... More

An interesting stop as part of our tour. We were able to see how the designs are made into the various fabrics. They also demonstrated how the many different patterns are created in sarongs and other clothing, using a stamp-like contraption. Much to buy there, such as different types of men's and women's clothing, as well as jewelery.
